16:53 Chelmsford City Tips — Thursday 2nd April 2026

Confidence levels are sky-high for **Hes Our Cracker** in the 16:53 Chelmsford City. This Jennie Candlish-trained four-year-old arrives here on the back of a thoroughly dominant performance last time out, a win that cemented his rapidly improving profile.

Just look at his form progression: 557-631. That’s a horse truly going places, demonstrating clear improvement with every run and peaking at just the right time. At only four years old, there’s still plenty of untapped potential to unlock, and his current Official Rating of 60 looks eminently workable for a horse still very much on an upward trajectory. George Wood gets the leg up again, fresh from that impressive victory, and the partnership should have no trouble replicating that form here. He's the standout bet and very hard to oppose in this field.

For those looking for an each-way alternative, **Sense Of Reason** appeals. While likely to find our confident selection too strong for the win, he often runs a consistent race and could pick up a handy place at a decent price. However, back Hes Our Cracker with supreme confidence to follow up and continue his excellent progression.
